Hidden Artwork of St. Louis #2: Angel Statue Traditional Cache

A quick cache in the Central West End Area

The mission of this series is to expose geocachers to hidden artwork that are often overlooked and unknown by the general St. Louis population.

The Angel of West Pine (unofficial title) is located just west of historic Saint Louis University. The sculpture stands at the end of the neighborhood in front of an iron gate that separates Sarah Street and West Pine. Little is known about the statue and is often unknown by most, even to residents close-by. The neighborhood flows towards Forest Park, the most iconic public space in the city and home to the 1904 World’s Fair. Enjoy searching for this cache but please be respectful of your surroundings, also keep in mind that the cache is located near a religious statue and that many come to sit and pray.
